The RPG space has changed a lot in the 10 years since The Witcher 3 released, with recent games like Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 and Baldur's Gate 3 seeing great success with their innovations on the genre. CD Projekt Red is well aware of the legacy of both titles--and has said that The Witcher 4 is more likely to follow in Kingdom Come's footsteps.Speaking to PC Gamer in a recent interview, CD Projekt Red co-CEO Adam Badowski praised Kingdom Come's systems-heavy style of RPG, saying its next game could go in that direction. "I love Kingdom Come because of the realism and the feeling, the sense of humor," Badowski said."The Kingdom Come kind of simulation ... there's so many options, you can change the world, it's super great," Badowski continued. "We'd like to follow this trend as well. So these are our next steps for sure, and it's kind of a similar challenge to what we have in The Witcher 3 because of the open world and storytelling here, freedom of choices. But at the same time, we would like to build very fleshy, very well-motivated characters. So it's kind of in contradiction from time to time. That's a great design challenge."Continue Reading at GameSpot...
